To a?! when) it may concern:

Be it l cnown that I, LEONARD E. TnAvis, a

citizen of'the United States,residing in the city of Newark, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Soa Holders, of which the ollow ing is a speci cation, reference being had to the drawings accompanying and forming a part of the same. i

My invention relates to soap-holders and, has for its object to provide means for causing .the water to come in contact with the soap andissue from the soap holder in the form of a lather or suds. I

Attempts have been made heretofore to produce a soap holder of this character, but so far as I am aware they have failed, because they have not recognized certain essential princi les which are embodied in my invention. n order to produce a lather or suds in a device of this character, it is necessary for the water to contact with the soap in the presence of air, otherwise, the mixture will issue in the form of a solution of soap, as distinguished from a lather or suds and will, therefore, be less efiective.

In the accompanying drawin s, I have shown means for accom lishing t is object, Figure 1 being a vertica section and Fig. 2 a top plan view. r (p Water enters from the-pipe A which may be connected to the source of supply in any convenient manner. This pi e terminates in a number of small orifices which direct fine streams of water against the ,cake of soap C. The soap' is held in a soap case which has a cap D, rem'ovable,'so tlntt the soap may be placed in the soap case, and a wire gauze or perforated metal bottom E, so that the Water may readily pass to and fromthe soa case; The soap case is an ported in a she F which scrves'to inclose tile parts and form the nozzle G. The ortion immediately surrounding the soap as a'number df perforations H, which serve to admit -air to the interiorof the shell, but not the escape It will be seen thatgthe operationof my invention,' as embodied in this particularstructure is as follows: Water entering water on the soap in the presence 0 air, a

shell surrounding said case and forming an outlet for the water and o enings in said shellto admit air around sait soap case, substantially as set forth.

2. In a soap. holder, the combination of a case containing soap, said case having a removable cap and openings to admit water, means for impinging water on said soap in the presence of air, a shell surrounding said case and forming an outlet for the water, and o enings in said shell to admit air arountl 'said soap case, substantially as set forth. I

3. In a soap holder, the combination of a case containing soalp, means for impinging Water in finely divi ed streams on said soap in the presence of air, and means for carrying off in the presence of air the soap solution and soap suds thus formed, substantially as set forth.

4. In a soap holder, the combination of a case containing soa ,,means for impinging water in finely divi ed streams on said soap in the presence of air, a shell surrounding said case and forming an outlet for the Water, and o enings in said shell to admit air arounc said soap case, substantially as set forth.

Iii-witness whereof, I have hereunto set. my hand this 30th day of July, in the'year nineteen hundred and-four (1904).
